Simone's New House: Painting, Day 1

I’m so glad that for once I had the foresight to take a “before” picture!

I should have taken a closer shot of the fireplace.  The previous owners had painted it a dark, smokey gray and then went over with a sponge of white paint.  I’m not sure if they were attempting some kind of faux look, but it’s pretty ugly.

Goodbye ugly!  Hello lovely!
